Obesity

What is obesity?

Obesity is a complex health condition involving having an excessive amount of body fat. The main causes are consuming more calories than you burn through daily activities and exercise, as well as genetic and hormonal factors.

Some key facts about obesity:

• It's defined as having a body mass index (BMI) over 30. BMI is calculated using your height and weight.


• Obesity increases your risk for heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, arthritis, and some cancers.


• Losing as little as 5-10% of your body weight can significantly lower these risks.


• Over 650 million adults worldwide have obesity.

Treatment options include:

• Lifestyle changes like improved nutrition and increased physical activity


• Medications to curb appetite or limit fat absorption


• Bariatric surgery like gastric bypass for severe obesity


• Hormone optimization therapy to correct imbalances contributing to stubborn weight gain
